dbt-knowledge-patch

dbt-knowledge-patch is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Nevaberry/nevaberry-plugins. It costs 10 tokens per session (1,961 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A reference guide for dbt Core, a tool that turns SQL-based data transformations into managed data projects. It covers current behavior for projects, packages, macros, automation, and database adapters.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for dbt configuration, command-line work, incremental models, snapshots, freshness checks, managed SQL/Python/JavaScript functions, packages, semantic metadata, tests, selectors, and state comparisons.
Why use it?
It helps you find changed defaults, removed options, compatibility flags, and version requirements before maintaining or upgrading a dbt project.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

dbt-knowledge-patch scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

dbt Core Knowledge Patch

Use this skill when maintaining dbt projects, packages, macros, automation, or adapter integrations that rely on current Core behavior. Start with the quick references below, then open the topic file that matches the task.

Reference Index

Reference Topics
Behavior Flags and Migrations Default changes, validation, deprecations, snapshot migration, compatibility flags
CLI, Artifacts, and Runtime Commands, output, parser integration, artifacts, telemetry, dependency floors
Incremental Models, Snapshots, and Freshness Microbatch execution, retries, hard deletes, source and model freshness
Managed Functions SQL, Python, and JavaScript UDF resources, overloads, selection, deferral
Project Configuration and Semantic Layer YAML, metadata, catalogs, Semantic Layer V2, OSI, packages, analyses
Testing, Selection, and State Unit/data tests, selectors, state comparison, resource selection

Migration Priorities

Audit behavior flags before an upgrade. Keep compatibility opt-outs in the version-controlled flags block of dbt_project.yml, and remove them after the project adopts the new behavior.

flags:
  require_resource_names_without_spaces: true
  source_freshness_run_project_hooks: true
  require_generic_test_arguments_property: true
  validate_macro_args: true
  require_all_warnings_handled_by_warn_error: true

Important default transitions:

  • require_resource_names_without_spaces and source_freshness_run_project_hooks default to true in Core 1.10. Their legacy opt-outs warn and disappear in Core 2.0.
  • require_generic_test_arguments_property arrives disabled in 1.10.5 and defaults to true in 1.10.8. Put generic-test inputs under arguments.
  • validate_macro_args and require_all_warnings_handled_by_warn_error arrive disabled in 1.10 and default to true in 1.12.
  • JSON Schema deprecation warnings are on by default in 1.12. Correct invalid project and resource YAML instead of depending on permissive parsing.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
